Amplified pfmdr1 gene products after nested PCR. Standard DNA extraction was carried out using the QIAamp DNA mini blood kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). DNA extraction by microwave irradiation was performed using a microwave oven (MDA, model number: MW17M70G-AU, 230 V, 50 HZ, operated at 800 W). 1 μl of condensed droplets after microwave treatment were utilized for the PCR procedures. First lane: DNA ladder; NC: Negative Control; PC1 and PC2: Standard extraction from archived blood sample and pfmdr1 amplicons at expected sizes; PC3 and PC4: Standard extraction from 3D7 P. falciparum parasites in culture and pfmdr1 amplicons at expected sizes; ME1 and ME2: Microwave based extraction from archived blood sample and pfmdr1 amplicons at expected sizes; ME3 and ME4: Microwave based extraction in 3D7 culture parasites and pfmdr1 amplicons at expected sizes; ME5: Microwave based DNA extraction from fresh blood sample and pfmdr1 amplicons at expected sizes.
